Founded in 1907 in Nagoya, Japan, we have grown into one of Japan’s largest suppliers of paints, coatings, and specialty materials.

With over a century of experience, we’ve expanded our footprint across Asia, Africa, and Europe, delivering smart coatings, advanced equipment, and full technical support. Our mission is to provide everything our customers need, ready for use, on time, and with the highest standards of quality and sustainability.

In 2019, Eguchi Iwao Europe (EIE) was established in the UK, marking a major step in our international growth. This move was reinforced by the acquisition of multiple UK entities, opening doors to major clients including Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover, Komatsu and Toyota. Through strategic alliances with leading manufacturers Eguchi Iwao continues to deliver on its promise of quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction across the automotive, industrial, rail, wood, yacht, and architectural sectors.
